An approved interdistrict agreement must be in effect between the resident district and the desired district before a student can attend the desired school. </p><p>School districts are now required to post a link to their interdistrict transfer procedures and timelines and provide a link to the district’s policy regarding requests for interdistrict transfer permits.

A parent whose request for his/her child to attend school outside of the district of residence has been denied may appeal to the ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ Clara County Board of Education. An appeal may be submitted whether the permit request was denied by the district of residence or by the district of desired attendance. An appeal to the County Board of Education must be filed within 30 calendar days after a student’s request for interdistrict attendance has been denied and they have exhausted the appeal process of the denying district.</p><p>The County Board of Education is the local appellate body for most types of interdistrict transfer denials. Staff provides support to the Board and acts as a liaison between the school districts and parents on matters related to interdistrict attendance appeals. If the denying school district is within another county, the appeal request must be with the county board that has jurisdiction of that school district.</p><p>Attendance appeal hearings are held during regularly scheduled County Board meetings. For a list of scheduled Board meetings visit&#58;

The approval is contingent on the pupil adhering to the receiving district's terms and conditions for an interdistrict agreement. </p></div></div></div><div class="panel panel-default"><div class="panel-heading"><h4 class="panel-title">
